For 2026, PeakFest will relocate to Apex Town Hall campus for 2026.
In early 2026, the town will begin a project to transform the Salem Streetscape, with the goal of keeping Downtown Apex as a top destination and public space to gather, shop, dine or find service providers. One lane of Salem Street between Chatham Street and Saunders Street will be closed for the duration of the project, which impacted the festival's footprint.
Learn more about the Salem Streetscape project here.
Relocating PeakFest to Town Hall campus allows the festival commission to maximize the festival experience for attendees while the Historic Downtown Salem streetscape is under reconstruction.
As the longest running festival in Apex, North Carolina, PeakFest continues to evolve and delight attendees. May 2, 2026, marks a 45th milestone moment for a festival that remains the community's signature celebration. Each year, the festival draws over 45,000 residents and triangle visitors to the peak.
New parking spaces recently added in the downtown Saunders Lot and Moore Street lot provide attendee increased places to park, and paved strollway access from downtown to Apex Town Hall Campus, located at 73 Hunter Street.
